When I was a young faculty member at Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State) I was recruited by the University of Illinois near the end of my first year in Springfield. I went to my boss and told him and he said "You had better talke to Don (the Dean) but he is going to be pissed. So I did. Don got from behind his desk and pulled up a chair next to mine and said, "Pat do you mind if I give you a piece of advice?" I said of course not. He said, "Patrick, institutions always want you to be loyal to them, but in the end they are rarely loyal to you. Manage your career they way you see fit."
The way I see it is that Tony is managing his career - and last time I look - institutions (race teams) fire drivers every single day.
